On the 18th inst, at Mt. Pleasant,
about go miles below Nashville, while
a funeral was celebrated by the col
ored people, and they were engaged
in the burial of Harrltt Terry one of
their race, just as the final prayer had
been said over the grave. a tremend-
GUS storm of thunder, wind and rain
came up. The crowd made for thu
shelter of the trees close by, and nine
persons, who had taken refuge under
a tremendous oak, were Instantly
killed by q thunder bolt which struck
the tree under which thcy were
standing. Their names were: Will
liam Burch, pastor of the G. M. X.
church, and Hattie, his wife, John
Hannah, minister engaged in mis-
sionary work, Manuel Orr, o Metho-
dist preacher, Tom Rogers, Hester
Terry mother of the girl who was
buried, and her two daughters, Eliza
and Rose, and Zebra Guthrie: The
most intense excitement prevailed,
and the wailing and mourning of the
poor colored people was simply heart
rending.

JACK DEMPSEY knocked out a
Toledo amateur near Toledo early
yesterday morning in three rounds.
-Er.
We once knew butting ram
named Dempsey who could have
knocked out Jack in the twinkling
of a sleeps tail. But, if he knocked
any sense into that amateur from
Toledo (who seems by the way to be
a Toledo blade) he is entitled to the
thanks of the a. from t. and all his
friends, countrymen and relations.
1t would be we'll whenever some
blade shows an ambition to become
a pugilist, and enter the ring, to
have some Jack Dempsey to give
him a good licking and send him
home to his marin. We suspect that
Dempsey is very good institution

mon enemy, therepublican party. The
insane folly of such a course Is made
mere manifest by the consideration
of the fact that the democratic party
has been composed Of widely different
elements, since the war, from those
that made up the rank and file of the
party before, the war, and 1t would
be well for some individuals who
aspire to be party leaders in Tennes-
see, to exhibit a little more liberation
and show more liberality.
1t should be remembered too that
not only all sound and wise party
legislation, but even every party
platform, is, or ought to be, the re-
Election of the cabined wisdom and
sagacity of the party which it repre-
sents, and is the result of harmonic
ing different shades of opinions in
side OF it. 1t not only does not help
to convince free American citizens of
error, if honestly mistaken, to in
dulge in denunciation and vitupera-
ton of them and of their motives,
but it is calculated to suggest, to can
did and impartial observers, the
fact that men of intellectual breadth
and enlarged intelligence are not apt
to resort to such methods of discus
sion, but from painful conscious
ness Of q lack of argument and Of
sound logic to convince them, if in
the wrong, by courteous and re.
spectful discussion of the questions
involved.
Once already the republican party
in Tennessee has profted by the dis
sensions in the democratic ranks
and, while being overwhelmingly in
the majority, the latter has sustained
a most disgraceful and humiliatinl
Waterloo defeat, and republicans car
only view repetition Of this judi
cial blindness with feelings of secre
and profound eXultation.
If the democratic party expects t
be successful, as we sincerely hope anC
trust it may be successful, and leaC
its victorious cohorts to battle in. tn,
next gubernator!al and presidential
campaign, which promises to b.
hotly contested, and in which W.
shall probably need all the votes w
can get, it would be advisable for al
such nonsense to be stopped, and tn,
sooner it ceases the better for tn
party and the country.

A SETTLER.

The Presidents letter, withdraw
ing his acceptance of the invitation
TO attend the meeting of the Grand
Army of the Republic at st. Louis,
has given the bowling dervishes of
that association a black eye. 1t
would have had a bad effect upon the
politics of the country if the people
fthese United States had been in
suited in the person of their chief
magistrate, who had attended the
meeting as an invited guest. The
political hyenas who prowl about the
graveyards Of dead union soldiers,
and endeavor to renew sectional
strife by scratching up their moulder-
ing bones will meet with very little
sympathy from right minded men.
AS an electionoering scheme for the
republican party the bloody shirt has
had its day. In the last Presidential
campaign it proved signal failure,
and itshould be allowed to sleep in
the tomb Of the Capuiets. If it were
possible to evoke the blush Of shame
in the faces of the agitators, they
would have occasion to feel mortified.
As it is, however, the country is
ashamed of such disgraceful pro-
ceedings, and will pity the men who
gave rise to them.

sALuTAroRY.

t Is with undisguised pleasure, not
unmlxed with diffidence and sad
ness, that the undersigned assumes
the editorial management of the
CHRONICLE. Pleasure, because he
renews, by this means, the associa-
tions of his boyhood, though, now
alas many, very many, of the famil-
lar faces whose smiles of friendship
greeted his earlier years, have passed
away; and diffidence because, in as
suming the position he distrusts his
ability to fill satisfactorily post
which has been always filled by men
of more than ordinary ability, and
particularly by his immediate pre-
decessor whose talent and genius as
an accomplished journalist is univer-
sally conceded. The writer came to
GAINESVILLE in the year 1886, when he
was a boy, only about ten years of
age, and what is now thriving and
prosperous young city was then only
village, and the GAINESVILLE CHRoN-
ICLE was then being published, but
as the writer was then very young,
he cannot now distinctly remember
who was its editor. The earliest that
he recollects was Ewing p. McGinty
an able writer, who afterwards
represented Montgomery county in
the legislature. From that day. to
this, the CHRONICLE has been dis
tinguished for the soundness and
conservation of its political views,
and, under the management of COM
petent editors, has maintained its
stand in the front ranks of the
staunchest, and most reliable of the
public journals of the State. Uuder
these circumstances, the writer,
though having had the experience OF
several years as a journalist, may be
excused for entertaining some mis-
givings as to being able to fill the
post of editor of it satisfactorily, but
trusting to the charity and indulgence
of criticism which he has a right to
expect, and believes, will be friendly,
he promises that no effort shall be
spared on his part to maintain, fOr
the CHRONICLE, the high position
which it has hitherto enjoyed, and to
make it a welcome visitor at every
fireside to which it shall find its way
In politics, it will be soundly dem
Ocratic, and, whilst the editor re.
serves, of course, the right to express
himself freely and frankly on all
questions as to what position OF
course should be adopted by the
party on all political questions which
may arise, yet when fairly constitu.
ted convention of the party has set
tied upon its course of policy, he will
bow in obedience to its behests, Oh
vacate the editorial tripod.
In conclusion permit him to say
that though his name is not McGre
COR, yet he feels that "his wandering
footstep is once more upon his native
heath,' and, making his most re
spectful boy, he again solicits, on thu
part OF an ndu'gent public, a charita
BILE criticism o. his short comings
promising in return to b. courteous
respectful and considerate of tht

with whom he may feel constrained

POLITICS IN TENN 2sSEE.

lT IS the almost constant practice
o. some Of the democratic newspa-
perS Of Tennessee gravely to under
take to ica OFT OF the party every
democrat who ventu es slightly to
differ with them Oh questions per-
tanning to tle principles and policy
OF the party and the best interests of
the country. Now, this is not only
very unwise, but it does not even
possess the negative of original
ity. These ostracized democrats can
well afford "to consider the source"
in most instances. If some men had
Their own way with politics and
platf rms, what an internal mess
they woull make OF it. 1t is time
some Of The democratic journals of
Tennessee We're beginning to exer-
else n little common sense. We
verify believe that if Gen. jackson,
or James X. Po'k We're still in the
lanl of the living, such men would
not hesitate to yead them out Of the
0artv, if they did not happen i'm
plicity to sub scribe to their own pecu-
liar notions of what it takes to con-
stitute democracy.
1t ought to be borne in mind thai
this, IS a free country, that the people
are sovereign at the ballot box, ant
that, if the democratic party, will
its time honored principles, Is TO b
defeated in the state and nationa
elections, 1t will be chiefly for wan
Of votes; and it is respectfully sub
mitted that it Is not the very bes
way to obtain this very useful an
necessary element of political succes
tob training the party guns againi
democrats instead Of directing thei
scainstthe entertainments of ourcon
